Today’s tip comes from Southwell where a Garry Woodward gelding offers good appeal. KINGAROO is clearly thriving at present and made it two wins on the bounce when beating the reopposing Yossi in good style over this C&D a week ago. Today’s pilot has winning form on the horse and there is nothing of considerable worry to oppose him.

Today’s tip comes from Wolverhampton where it is hard to look past the claims of STRAVERSJOY. Reg Hollinshead’s filly has won three times here since September and produced a telling turn of foot when scoring only nine days ago. Clearly in good form at present, she looks to have been found another decent opening.

	Straversjoy	1 point	Currently 5/2

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where IRON CONDOR comes with a great all-weather record to defend. This 4-y-o gelding is two from three over this C&D and scored with a bit to spare here earlier this month so a 4lb rise in the ratings doesn’t appear unsurmountable.

	Iron Condor	2 points E/W	Currently 8/1
	16:50 Kempton Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: J M P Eustace	Course : Kempton Distance : 1m 4f Runners : 11

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where RUSTARIX looks good value in an open race. Alan King’s gelding came good under today’s pilot when scoring on his reappearance at the recent Cheltenham meeting and could still be well handicapped despite a 4lb rise for that success. He displayed admirable resolution to land the spoils on good ground but is equally effective on terrain with cut so today’s conditions could be well in his favour.

	Rustarix	2 points E/W	Currently 11/2
	12:55 Newbury Jockey: Mr J Banks (7) Trainer: A King	Course : Newbury Distance : 3m 2f Runners : 12

Today’s tip comes from Musselburgh where it looks like a good opportunity for FIRST ROCK to open his account. He has finished runner-up in two bumpers and was far from disgraced in the Grade 2 Champion bumper at Aintree inbetween. The competition is no way near as capable as the types he’s faced before and he should make all the running today.

	First Rock	3 points	Currently 10/11
	15:30 Musselburgh Jockey: B Hughes Trainer: G A Swinbank	Course : Musselburgh Distance : 2m Runners : 9

Today’s tip comes from Newbury where the well thought of SUPER KENNY gets another chance to redeem himself. Although disappointing on both starts following an impressive victory on his hurdling debut, he is reported to have strengthened up over the summer and doesn’t look badly treated first time in handicap company.

	Super Kenny	3 points	Currently 3/1
	12:30 Newbury Jockey: David Bass (3) Trainer: N J Henderson	Course : Newbury Distance : 2m Runners : 13

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where EXCELLENT SHOW looks to have been handed a decent opening. Barry Smart’s mare shaped with plenty of promise when returning for her first start since January at Wolverhampton last month and she seems sure to strip fitter this evening. A C&D winner this time last year, she remains capable of winning races off this mark and should give a good account of herself today.

	Excellent Show	2 points	Currently 9/4
	17:05 Kempton Jockey: T Eaves Trainer: B Smart	Course : Kempton Distance : 5f Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where John Dunlop makes a rare trip to the course. There was plenty to like about MINIYAMBA’s effort at Kempton last time out, holding on for second place despite looking the likely winner over 2f out. The drop in trip is sure to help her cause and she won’t need to improve much to have these rivals chasing dust.

	Miniyamba	3 points	Currently 2/1
	13:10 Southwell Jockey: E Ahern Trainer: J L Dunlop	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 4f Runners : 8

Today’s tip comes from Ffos Las where SAMBULANDO is having his first start in a handicap chase. Tom George’s grey has performed with credit in two outings so far this season and should now be spot-on to mount a strong challenge for top honours. It is likely that he will take advantage of what looks a feasible mark.

	Sambulando	3 points	Currently 11/4
	13:55 Ffos Las Jockey: J M Maguire Trainer: T R George	Course : Ffos Las Distance : 2m Runners : 6

Today’s tip comes from Towcester where we back REELWILL to handle this much shorter trip than she’s used to. She won nicely over 2m6f at Fakenham two starts ago and was a decent fourth over 3m1f at Southwell off a 6lb higher mark in a tougher contest. Down in grade, she looks the one to beat.

	Reelwill	2 points	Currently 11/4
